* {{Jerkass}}: Sly Rax. In a team full of killers, war criminals, and Bruno, Sly stands out because he's an asshole. He's perhaps the lest heinous of V.E.N.O.M. but he's a slimy weasel nonetheless. During the look into the Villains' backstories, Bruno and Vanessa are humanized, but Sly is largely the same asshole he's always been.

His fatherly relationship with Matt's a ruse as he killed Matt's father, any friendship with Joe is thrown out when we learn Miles was 100% behind Joe being replaced by a Dire-Wraith, even Miles's attempts at playing himself off as a WellIntentionedExtremist give way to him just being a power hungry dictator wannabe.

After his FaceHeelTurn, Matt regards him with more sympathy than the others and Bruno's disfigurement is supposed to invoke tragedy for the character.

* BigBad: Miles Mayhem, the leader of V.E.N.O.M. has set most of the plot in motion. He's killed Matt's father, starting the enmity with him and Matt, created the vehicles and seeks to take over the world.
* TheSociopath: Subverted. During a talk with Dr. Mindbender, Matt believes Vanessa to be a sociopath with Mindbender noting that she had many of the signs (most notably a LackOfEmpathy). Though after listening to her origin story Matt realized that he had misdiagnosed her, which the doctor confirms (having stated that she had sociopathic tendencies rather than claiming she was one). Vanessa has been able to form natural connections and empathetic bonds with other people but years of childhood abuse have left her embittered.
